      The Hinkelstein waterworks is a groundwater pumping system in Frankfurt am Main. It was built between 1890 and 1893 as the third and largest groundwater collection system in the Frankfurt city forest under the direction of city planning officer William Heerlein Lindley and went into operation in 1894. The fountains were renewed in 1924 and 1964. The systems have been operated by Hessenwasser GmbH & Co. KG since 2001. The Hinkelstein waterworks pumps around 18,000 cubic meters daily with 10 wells between 66 and 143 meters deep. Of the original system, only the listed machine house remains.
